New Age Of Feminist Amandla Stenberg

     You may know her as Rue, from the hit movie The Hunger Games. But 17- year- old Amandla Stenberg  is outspoken and bold. she was named Feminist celebrity of the year, alongside rowan Blanchard. These young women  are sure changing the game and turning heads while doing so.  Amandla is also an outspoken activist , focusing on  the issue of race and feminism.  This young women  is not only knowledgeable when it comes to the issue of these topics, but she sure isn't afraid to educate those around her.  In her infamous video titled

"Don't cash crop my cornrows" she states that " The line between cultural appropriation and cultural exchange   is always going to be blurred, but here is the thing  appropriation occurs   when a style leads to racist generalizations or stereotypes where it originated , but is  deemed as high fashion, cool or funny when the privilege take it for themselves".  Her stating this got me thinking , it's so true.  R&B and hip hop , tells the stories of struggles and what people have gone through and reaching success , despite the hardships . Amandla is sure bringing awareness on issues that are constantly being put on the back burner, It's time that we speak up and stand for something that is an ongoing issue and that needs to be heard. 

 so with that being said , amandla states at the end of the video a question she had received , which I want my readers to really think about and leave your answers in the comment section. 

" What would america be like if we loved black people, as much as we love black culture"?
